Sono in viaggio dal 1984 e non si sono ancora fermati. Quando sono partiti erano una coppia svizzera di quarantadue anni; adesso di "primavere" sulle loro spalle ne contano sessantacinque, hanno ciocche brizzolate e si trovano decisamente lontani dalle natìe Alpi: sono infatti a Taiwan per l’ennesima tappa di un viaggio ininterrotto che dura da quasi un quarto di secolo e che i due non sembrano proprio intenzionati ad interrompere.
- Description: Kevin Sanders (born 14 October 1964, London) and Julia Sanders née Powell (born 1966, Sheffield) are an English motorcycling couple who hold two former Guinness World Records. They met while backpacking in South America in 1997 and married in Cusco, Peru, in 2001. In 2002, riding two-up on a BMW R1150GS, they circumnavigated the world in 19 days, 8 hours and 25 minutes, covering 31,319 km (19,461 miles) across 12 countries and four continents. In doing so, they beat the previous Guinness World Record set by Nick Sanders in 1997 by 12½ days, and also surpassed the existing car record by 1 hour and 50 minutes. In 2003, riding a BMW R1150GS Adventure, they completed the Trans Americas route from Deadhorse, Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, to Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina - about 27,357 km (17,000 miles) - in 35 days, breaking the previous record by more than 12 days. Guinness World Records no longer certifies these categories, so these records cannot be challenged as Guinness titles under the current system

My life was fairly typical until around the age of 30. I attended university, got a job in banking and joined corporate America. Then one day I was plodding through some marketing proposal and suddenly became disillusioned with my career and a future that seemed all too predictable.

- Description: Nicholas Mark Sanders MBE is a British cyclist, motorcyclist and author who has ridden around the world seven times. In 1981 he set the original world cycling circumnavigation record, covering 21,900 km (13,609 miles) in 138 days. In 1984 he repeated the feat in 79 days over approximately 22,000 km. On 9 June 1997 he completed a Guinness-certified motorcycle circumnavigation of 32,070 km (19,930 miles) in 31 days and 20 hours on a Triumph Daytona. He held the Guinness World Record for the fastest motorcycle circumnavigation from 1997 to 2002, when it was broken by Kevin and Julia Sanders. In 2005 he completed a second motorcycle circumnavigation in 19 days and 4 hours on a Yamaha R1 - however, Guinness had ceased certifying such attempts after 2002, meaning the official Guinness World Record remains that set by Kevin and Julia Sanders. In 2011 he became the first person to ride from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego and back in under 49 days and 17 hours on a Yamaha XT1200Z Super Ténéré. In 2024 he became the first person to circumnavigate the globe by electric bicycle. He also holds the Guinness World Record for the fastest ride around the coast of Great Britain: 7,720 km (4,800 miles) in 22 days

- Description: Emilio Scotto is an Argentine adventurer, photojournalist and writer. In 1985 he left his job as a sales representative for Pfizer to travel the world on a 1980 Honda Gold Wing GL1100 he called "Black Princess". Over ten years, from 1985 to 1995, he covered 735,000 km (457,000 miles) across 214 countries — a Guinness World Record for the world's longest motorcycle journey by distance. His motorcycle consumed 86 tyres, 12 batteries and 47,000 litres (12,500 gallons) of fuel. During the journey he was arrested as a suspected spy in Burundi, Chad and Cameroon, jailed in Zimbabwe, and stranded in New York City. In 1991 he married Monica Pino in New Delhi; she accompanied him for the final four years. The "Black Princess" is now displayed at the Don's Riverside Car Museum in Laughlin, Nevada
